The
objective of the Second International
Conference on Environmental Science and Technology
will be to provide a major interdisciplinary forum for presenting
new approaches from relevant areas of environmental science, to
foster integration of the latest developments in scientific research
into engineering applications, and to facilitate technology transfer
from well-tested ideas into practical products, waste management,
remedial processes, and ecosystem restoration. Environmental humanity
and sociality such as environmental ethics, environmental law,
environmental economy and environmental management are also included
in the scope of the conference. Researchers, engineers, site managers,
regulatory agents, decision-making officials, consultants, and
vendors will all benefit from the opportunity to exchange information
on recent research trends, to examine ongoing research programs,
and to investigate worldwide public and regulatory acceptance
of environmental protection and remediation technologies.

Environmental disturbance and pollution are complex problems worldwide.
The current development of modern science and technology combined
with management on social and economic activities are contributing
more and more to solution of the problems. Although considerable
environmental protection work has been and is presently being
conducted, a multidisciplinary platform for environmental scientists,
engineers, management professionals and governmental officials
to discuss the latest developments in environmental research and
applications will be very helpful for protecting our global village.

The
Conference Co-Chairs are Dr. William G. Lyon of American Academy
of Sciences and Professor Steven K. Starrett of Kansas State University.
Cosponsors and the participating partners of the conference will
include governmental, academic, and private organizations that
are international leaders in environmental research and technology
applications.
